Spoiler: MaximumUpdate END OF YEAR 2016 (click to show/hide)

Fail | Pass

1. Make an effort to actively spend more time with my family. I don't get much time with the wife and kids, and I need to capitalize on that time. So, this was a total and complete failure. I'm now spending less time with my oldest daughter, and no time with my second ex and youngest child, as they now live in another state. 0 points.

2. Figure out a way to go on a date with the wife. Shoot for once a month at least.
This turned into a complete disaster. 0 points.

3. Lose weight. Doesn't matter how much. Starting the year at 215. Ended the year at about 230. 0 points.

4. Get promoted or get a new job. Doesn't matter which. Make more money. Technically, I got a second job. However, I'm now unemployed, although I did make more money for a little while. I guess I have to mark this as a completion, although it doesn't feel like it right now. 1 point.

5. Get child support fixed. I'm paying way more than necessary.There's no way of getting this fixed. The legal system is stupid and fucked, and it's much worse when you're a father and the topic is family law. 0 points.

6. Write a short story. Complete it. Doesn't need to be NaNoWriMo, just something. I wrote a couple short stories. They are not for public consumption. 1 point.

7. Programming. Make some kind of progress into understanding the arcane. I understand less about programming now than at the beginning of the year. 0 points.

8. Buy a bicycle and ride it to work when it gets warmer.I'm no longer in a position to do this. 0 points.

9. Work on my game. At least a little bit.I worked on it for a little bit a couple times during the year, but made no actual progress into turning it into a playable game. 0 points.

10. Use the Ninja to make veggie/fruit smoothies that I'll actually drink. Drink no less than two per week.I did not do this. I am no longer in possession of said Ninja blender, so this is basically an autofail. 0 points.

11. Have dinner with friends at least a couple of times.Socialization complete! 1 point.

12. Join the local MMA gym.I joined no gym whatsoever, and that gym is no longer local. 0 points.

Total score: 3/12. My life is a fucking mess.

[Shook]

Well hey, 3's better than none, right? Let's see how badly i've done:

Spoiler: SHOOPDATE (click to show/hide)

1. Get used to waking up at 8AM before mid-August. And by that, i mean getting up at 8AM without my bowels being cranky as hell.
WELL I SUCCEEDED, more or less. I didn't actually enjoy getting up that early, but it went fine and i had minimal bowel problems beyond the usual. I also haven't immediately fallen back into sleeping till noon, so that's okay too. :v

2. FINISH ANGRY LASER SPACE, DAMMIT
A bit of progress, i think?? Alas, didn't get it done in 2016, but in my own defense, i've done a lot of game designing besides it.

3. Make a MAXIMUM EFFORT arting.
still done yep yep i'm okay with that

4. get a job
Well, technically being an advert delivery guy counts, but the pay was so shitty that i choose to not count it as a full success.

5. Make some sort of animation that's a bit longer than 4 frames (this also kind of ties in with the above MAXIMUM EFFORT arting because i have a hard time putting serious effort into anything)
fuckin aced

6. Draw something EVERY time i'm in the "i want to art but anxiety is evilllllll" mojo. Doesn't have to be big, just SOMETHING.
Kind of backtracked here, 2016's been a bit dry. However, my resolution for 2017 is to draw something (even if just a circle) every day. :v

7. Link my deviantArt page to someone i know in meatspace, possibly my brother. (o boy this one's a scary thought)
Well, some people have seen said page, but i haven't outright linked any of them. One friend has seen my Patreon page, however!

8. TRY MUSIC
Surprise mothafucka. I might even try again. :v

9. Bit of a vague one but TRAIN TO SPEAK SLOWER AND MORE CLEARLY. I stumble over my words way too frequently, and it's annoying as hell.
Well, i CAN speak slowly and clearly, but my normal "i am not actively thinking about it" speech is still rather fast and prone to cluttering. If i actually remember to hold my horses, it tends to go much better. :v

10. Earn enough dosh to afford folk high school without resorting to Parental Loan(tm).
Nope, failed. I did manage to pay the first quarter of it, but my parents overall paid for half of it, and i had to crack open my child savings to pay the last quarter. Oh well.

11. Be rid of the pain in my arms.
Still not gone, but the intensity varies a lot, and is usually in the lower end.

12. get used to not being on the loo for half an hour every time
Ehhhhhhh, not really. I CAN do it fairly quickly, but hurrying too much generally ends in discomfort, and i'd rather just take the time needed to avoid that.

Huh, better than i expected. Have to admit though, i largely forgot that this was a thing. :v
